I am a BRAT person and I have to tell you, its tough sometimes to get to everything you need to have for an accurate report for a dog someone is interested in.
I try to make sure all the info I am putting out, good and bad, is correct.
BUT if you have folks who aren't used to basenjis and give you a lot of bad info, it makes it tough to get the real picture of a dog who needs a home.
We also don't get paid. so we try to work this in between work and family.
Myself, I do this because I love it, but 2 or 3 times a year I take a week off.
I try to make arrangements for people to contact prospective new homes, but they are busy as well…sometimes things do get dropped.
I would just keep trying. We so work to be accurate with the info we send out.
Sometimes we know lots about the dogs, sometimes not so much.
Like the b/w boy I have now to rehome.
Z was hit by a car, and the shelter in Wa picked him up.
Road rash all over him...but SWEET, oh, my what a dear sweet boy.
Dew claws, so not from a quality breeder, and we have him in foster care to get him total personality, but he is a totally wonderful boy.
So, who knows what will show up at the shelter or in rescue?
Its all a grab bag.
Just keep looking and your dog will show up.
